Use this guide when

Enabling self-service customer access for viewing estimates, paying invoices, and reviewing service records.

Best practice

Enable the customer portal on the Automations page and verify the Client Login button appears on your site.

Watch for

Toggling the portal master switch off immediately strips the Client Login button from your public website header.

01

Master switch location on Automations page

The customer portal master switch is located on the Automations page (/dashboard/automations#client-portal), not under general Settings. Toggling this master switch off immediately and permanently strips the "Client Login" button from your live public website header.

02

What customers see in their portal

  • Estimates & Quotes: Review pending and accepted quotes with signed agreements.
  • Invoices & Payments: View outstanding balances, download PDF receipts, and make one-click payments.
  • Service Appointments: View scheduled technician arrival times and service history.
  • Warranty & Equipment: Access documented serial numbers and completed job photos.
03

Passwordless magic link security

Homeowners sign in using passwordless email or SMS magic links. There are no forgotten passwords to reset, and client session tokens expire securely after inactivity.

Completion check

Confirm before moving on

Use these checks to make sure the dashboard and the real-world workflow agree.

  • Customer Portal master toggle is turned on in Automations (#client-portal).
  • Client Login link is visible and functional in the live website header.
  • Homeowner can sign in via passwordless magic link to view quotes and pay invoices.

Troubleshooting

When the workflow doesn’t look right

Client Login button is missing from website.

Open Automations (/dashboard/automations#client-portal) and ensure the Customer Portal master toggle is enabled.

Customer cannot open portal link.

Send a fresh magic link directly from the client profile page in your dashboard.

Keep going
